Completely new to colour grading. Had no idea what I was doing. This was a genuinely such a nice little tutorial to follow for a complete beginner and my footage looks 100x better than when I was just mucking around with the colour wheels.
any more tutorials you'd recommend?
Still getting my head around SLOG and colour grading. This video was the most beneficial I've ever watched!
Some might argue that you should convert the footage into DaVinci wide gamut in your first node, and from DaVinci wide gamut into your output color space (like Rec709) in you last node, the color grading being done in between.
I’ll try that thx!
Yeah i saw this alot. But what is the diffrence? For example i shoot in d log m from dji. They dont have a color space transfrom so cant use this wide gamut for davinci right?
I like the follow along and how quick I was able to adjust my footage immediately after installing.
Thank you so much for this! Some other videos on this subject I found intimidated me and made me not want to shoot in S log 3 but this one was paced perfectly for me, and made perfect sense. So grateful to you for making this excellent tutorial. I'll look and see if you made one now for S Cinetone!
Thanks for covering S-Log3 man... I just upgraded from a Sony A7III to A7IV so I can finally shoot in S-Log3, 10-bit, 4.2.2, and this is going to give me some much needed help!!!!
Finally a video that helps u understand color grading slog 😊😊
So simple.. I am lucky to have this. I was about to re-shoot my addvt video because It was underexposed & I thought before going to search a color grading. Thank you, I got your videos.
Sooo much to learn.... but you're teaching style is easy to understand for a beginner like myself. Thanks.
literally the only tutorial that works
probably the best color grazding video ever. thanks
I have to freaking print out this worklow. It's perfect! THANK YOU!
this video gave me some insight into complete color grading! Thank you for this excellent Video!!
thank u, mr. davinci resolve GOAT
Thank you so much for this in-depth video, Casey. At 2:20, I saw you brought down the brightness of the entire shot using the Offset wheel. Wouldn't it be better to bring down the Gamma instead to prevent the shadows from being crushed?
I am genuinely curious because I shoot most of my videos slightly overexposed to retain detail in the shadows. I generally just bring the Gamma wheel down a bit and put the highlights to around -20 to make the image look less bright.
Hi there! What if do same thing such as color temp correction, gamma and so on in one node?
No one answer on this 😂
Maybe he does that because that the way he organise
Casey thank you so much for this video. While I dont use S-Log3 but C-Log3 it helped a lot. Pretty much the same thing.
Nice. Do you stay away from Resolve Color Management for some reason? Thanks.
I always thought that styling or styling would come after the Technical Lut / CST (and that color correction would go upstream of that). Can you speak to reasons for/ against this?
Great and informative video which was SUPER easy to follow. Thank you so much for this.
This is great - thanks. Do you have to grade each clip individually, or can it be done at track level?
I think I should get your course. Sometimes I use stock foot, but I think if I shot it myself in slog3 (a7siii) and color corrected it myself it could be noticeably better quality in RUclips videos... Am I right?
waooo great job!! simple and efective!! i love it!!
This video was massively helpful! Thanks man!
Hey, this was helpful, thank you! Question: I couldn't find an answer to this - do you simply leave your project settings LUTS and Color Management blank for this case?
Your video made me install DR 😅
a question? now if we do the same to a clip shot in studio lighting will it look top tier hollywood level or do those guys do more technical shit to a clip. i have a client whose very adment on getting his videos to look like hollywood and im a wedding videographer, who never shoots in slog.
Hi Casey, Thanks for guiding me through the basics. Can I save my adjustments as a preset?
Love your videos man!
Loved this! Thanks
amazing man
hi Casey - great turtorial - as always :D
Q: Do You know how to manage YT upload in Davinci Studio - when I have several YT accounts as a manager?
Thank you it really helped me out!
Thanks for this Video! You're my Hero of my Day! :)
I want to cut or shorten an audio track to fit into a vacant space. How do I manage it .
Thanks! What's the saturation compression for?
Thank you! Excellent video! I subscribed.
Great video, i follow the same process but what about LUTS ? Do they have to be applied in a node after the transform one ? Should LUTs be sitting at the end of the color grading process or earlier ? Any Slog3 luts you can reccomend ?
Yes this, pretty please Casey!!!!
Anything need to be done in color management settings first? And if using luts would you still set output gamma and space to 709?
Well explained simple and neat; very new to Slog world :)
Giday Casey awesome tip thank you so much!
What were the settings for your color management?
Great video, thanks. At minute 2:42 you select each one to show us the different color/light but in my case if I select one or other I can just see the same color/light even if I did whatever you said... why?
I just discovered your channel and I really like it. I'm completely new to video and DaVinci but I know a bunch of technical details. Probably enough to be dangerous. Right now what I am mainly interested in capturing the best quality video for the purpose of grabbing the best quality stills off of it. I don't care about audio right now I just want the best quality still. The free version of DaVinci doesn't support 10-bit 422, or 8 k, so I need to deal with that limitation. Should I shoot in s-log or is that going to raise my noise levels too much. Remember I only care about what the final still looks like when I export it as a TIF.
My camera is Sony A7R5
Well... Id just shoot stills if I were you in raw. And probably use Photoshop.
That said... Yeah I'd do slog3 in 4k and thatll give you a decent image after color grading.
great Video! Thank you :)
Hey,
A bit off topic but the era 5 bundle isn’t available anymore.
Can you make a video of alternatives or how you would deal with sound without this plugin ?
😁
what difference between CST node "slog3 to rec709" in end of node tree and CST nodes with "slog3 to DWG" in first a node and "DWG to rec709" in last? thank you
Hi Casey, this works great for internal fx6 shooting, but if I try it on ninja v prores hq footage, with the same camera settings, it looks terrible.
it would have been great if you took us through the beginning part of getting the clip into the software to start with :(
Great Video, I have an issue after trying this, which is whenever I drop the CST effect onto my Node Tree following your exact instructions, it turns red. I choose all the right settings for my Sony A7S iii but it lags on playback, and when I delete the CST node, it all works again fine. Now I tried this on another Project, same exact following of instructions, and it's fine, the CST doesn't turn red. Any ideas, as I want to use your method as it's great so thank you !
Is there a way (or shortcut) to enable or disable ONLY ONE section on a Color node in the color tab?
Not the whole node like CTRL+D, i need to enable or disable just one section, lets say a "before and after" for only the primaries.
I don't want to break up every color edit to million Nodes for a reason, is there a way you think?
Thank you.
Is there a difference between doing the CST and using a conversion LUT such as LeemingLut for Slog3? I use Premiere + LeemingLut but I'm curious about how grading in DaVinci is better
Great vids. Thx! Noob question. I have some drone (Magic 3) clips that I’m trying to show before shots shot in log and after color grading as well as compare D-log to Normal 8 bit footage and I want to do split screen or transitions from one to the other.
How do you do the nodes to do this? I tried putting the different clips in the single timeline and then I try to separate them into one timeline over the other but if I apply the color space transform for the log to a clip and it affects the whole timeline same with if I kept it in normal. How do I separate them?
And if you have tutorials with a deeper dive into Nodes, I’d appreciate seeing that.
I’m on a Mac using da Vinci 18 free version.
i need help and i need it now.
Is there any way to apply a transition between 2 clips if they are on different video tracks???
Also at minute 5:18... How can I see the each one difference?? (sorry I'm a super beginner)
i have a question. im new to doing video so this video is helpful as hell but have something i need clarification one. i use a Sony with Cine EI mode in which i can expose to a LUT or 709 or whatever i have in the camera right, but it still captures footage as S-Log3(unless you bake in but not for the sake of this), if i expose to a specific LUT, does any of this/part of this node tree apply or is the LUT the end all be all in that situation? would i still Color Space Transform to 709 in the end? hope this reaches you.
Can you share your timeline settings?
Hi Casey, thanks for this video :) Which timeline color space did you set?
Hi, I have this question too. do you know?? thanks
Casey - how do we find your live feed?
Short and effective good color grading thank you, subscripted.
Why does my S-curve and many other controls not seem to colour grade in 10 bit when working with log footage? Seems like it's boosting an 8 bit JPG and my histogram shows almost no data. It's really giving me headaches
are you using the free version of Davinci? If so, there might be your problem. You need the studio version to be able to edit all types of 10-bit codecs.
@@Xboxers I have Studio. I think the problem was I had histogram set to input. I changed it to show output and now all is well.
Hi why when I uploaded the graded video to my iphone it has different colours?
Good One
Don't the color management settings of the project affect how this works, and the success of this technique also depends on these ? Or not ?
Not if you're using nodes... you can do it in project color management or in nodes. For more color awesomeness check out @CullenKelly
Im new to video completely, why is the cst out all the way at the end? Is it the final edit of it? Because it doesn't look like it is
CST is the final piece you want your footage to run through, however you put it on first so you can make adjustments while looking at the corrected image.
Basically you're doing everything to the image before the CST, but seeing how it affects the image after it runs through the CST.
Thanks
Such a great video.
So with a Sony A7c it’s only 8 bit so better off with slog 2.
Apart from the relevant settings is color correction and grading the same process for slog 2 as what you have done here?
Just changing to resolve this week from a short time learning fcpx
Resolve really connects with the way I think.
Love your work.
@casey faris I wanted to buy the training "slog3+sony camera" but it seems the provided link I had grabbed 2 months ago is not working anymore ?
Sorry. We don't sell that course anymore. 😔
@@CaseyFaris thanks for your answer... too bad for me , would have been helpfull to have to full picture on how to use slog3
Why not a LUT?
Using "Log " & LUT
Fantastic teacher, tnx Casey.
But there is something confusing here: Thinking about your way of putting the CST node at the end of the nodes chain, I wonder if the settings "Output color space" and "Output gamma" refer to the output of the node itself? or the output of the final export (delivered file)??? cus if it is the second case, then putting the CST node at the end of the chain will not make sense. PLEASE illuminate me with more explanations, because maybe some of us are living some misunderstandings.
thanks a lot,
bless you
@@grahamkay4034 tnx Graham, u just opened another new window in my mind!
Why not gamma 2.4? I’ve found Phantom luts conversations work best, over color space transform🤷🏻♂️
What about braw?
Can anyone pleas tell me why my S-log3 videos are only importing the sound/mp4? I can import older videos shot on my A9ii but not new A7siii S-log3 10 bit files. Am I doing something wrong? I tried a Leawo converter program, but the video files won’t drop into that either. Watching these videos, and looking all over RUclips, I feel like I’m the only one having this issue. I’m new to DaVinci and trying to switch over from Premiere. This is my first major roadblock. Thanks
So having done more searching, I realize that there are very complicated work arounds that drastically increase file size with codec conversion to options like Prores or you can just buy the paid Studio version. So I went ahead and ordered a Black Magic Keyboard editor which comes free with a DaVinci Studio license. I guess nobody else is using the free version on this page. I never had any reason to consider the paid one until now.
I followed the same settings but my video didn't change
Ooh ohh, do f-log :D
😅
Go outside!? How dare you!
I don't think most beginners are using film quality cameras. No one ever makes actual beginner videos.
I don’t think this video is aimed at beginner camera users. It’s for beginner slog users.
15 episodes in on our @bestofmidlandtx podcast and FINALLY I’ll be able to get consistent color! 🙏
